Verizon Wireless engineers have been working to resolve an issue with 4GLTE service that is affecting some customers' 4G devices. 3G data and voice devices are unaffected. All customers' voice calls and text messages continue to go through. In the past 24 hours, some 4GLTE customers have reported their devices are operating on 3G data service where they would normally get 4G. Some have reported no issues, others that data access is either intermittent or unavailable. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
